Exergen Temporal Thermometer Review and Giveaway

When we first had Kik one of my in laws gave me an Exergen TemporalScanner as a baby shower gift.

Because we had never heard of temporal thermometers before we decided to buy some traditional thermometers - just in case.

The first time Kik got sick we tried the standard thermometer first. Never again! She hated to be poked and prodded, and it was almost impossible to take a reading. So we got out the Exergen Scanner and had a reading within seconds. There was no crying, no fighting, and no cleaning anything after. The Exergen TemporalScanner has been an integral part of our medicine cabinet ever since.

The Exergen TemporalScanner is also really easy to use. All you have to do is place the scanner flat on the center of the forehead. Then you press and hold the Scan button as you swipe towards the hairline.

After you reach the hairline, you let go of the scan button and the reading is displayed on the screen. And the best part of all, the whole process only takes 2-3 seconds!

To Buy - The Exergen TemporalScanner is fast, easy, and effective. It uses the Temporal Artery to measure a persons core body temperature and has been proven accurate within +0.2 degrees F. (It also shuts off automatically within 30 seconds and contains no mercury).

I've had nothing but positive experiences with our Exergen TemporalScanner and would highly recommend it. It has a manufacturers suggested retail price of under $50 and is available Nationwide at Wal-Mart, Costco, Walgreens, Babies R Us, Toys R Us and Sam's Club. It's definitely a great buy for a new parent! And right now if you ask your pediatrician for your TAT-2000C Educational Pamphlet it includes a $5.00 (mail-in) rebate coupon good toward your purchase of a TAT-2000CComfortSCANNER™ or TemporalScanner™ Temporal Artery Thermometer.

I received a product to review from the above company or their PR Agency. Opinions expressed in this post are strictly my own - I was not influenced in any way. I received no monetary compensation for this post.

I learned that Exergen patented the method called the Arterial Heat Balance Method and the result, proven by clinical studies, is a non-invasive body temperature as accurate as even the most invasive temperature measurement methods. Thanks! dahbou at gmail dot com

I learned If sweating, the temperature on the neck behind the ear lobe becomes the overriding temperature, and since this area is not quite as stable as the temporal artery, it can easily cooled be by the thermometer in taking multiple readings. brewerchickey78@yahoo.com
